So noted, Squiddy! I should be there. I may or may not be able to participate in EoE farming, however. I have regularly scheduled tabletops on both nights.
Looking forward to it!

I /might/ be there. Maybe. If not good luck with the raid.

I will definitely be there on the 17th for the EoE farm and should be available for the Redside Hami on the following Saturday.

I to will be there with bells on, and am willing to lead the spike team if you so wish...
Side note, it would be sweet if we have more than 3 bio nukes next time as I'm sure we will have at least 3 this time, but 4 would be nice or even more in case we have a failed run...
Not to really mess the universe up, but I have discovered something of importance to Hami Tanking: Dark Regen is immune to Hami -Heal blasts. Blue side DA tankers have more HPs and thus a greater heal, but a sufficiently rech boosted DA brute should be able to tank Hami (with EoEs) indefinately. The end drain and fear resists in DA is a major plus as well.
The importance of this is that 1 or 2 brutes could do what currently 6 MMs are doing. Thats +4 for Mito hunting.
The only thing of concern with this plan is knockback. ID should be sufficient to get the brute in and survive the yellow alpha before the taunt team sweeps in and leaves only the blues and greens and Hami to hit the DA brute.
We arent quite to the point of experimental strats, but this has much promise from a numbers perspective.

i think i might roll out a dark brute and we can at least test this on a lgtf to at least see what we think..
Ill see if I cant get i on an LGTF tonight and see what happens. Grab a few EoEs and park at Hami and see who gets bored first.

Oh cool I didn't know you had a dark already.. or is that what iNubis is? I can't remember lol...
Thoery confirmed.. DA can tank hami just fine. Okie it was the one in LGTF, not the real one, but with loads of -Heal, I was getting full power from DR.

That's interesting must be something with DR requiring a to-hit check. *shrugs*

Hmmm, I've got a highish forties Dark/Dark brute ... I can't remember just how high ... I'll go check.
My memory served me well (this time!) ... Pen is forty nine.
What do you mean by high rech, Net? High recharge where, specifically?
Geni
I have taken my DA tank on a Hami raid. Without speed boost I have insufficient recharge, 16 seconds, for Dark Regen to keep me going, but the heal was not reduced by being in the goo. Using an EoE died every time with a full end bar. Was never feared fighting Hami or LGTF Hami, cannot remember ever being feared on any mission or TF. It usually take 3 or more malta sappers before I notice them having any affect, dark ring mistress barely qualifies as an annoyance
Is there anything that is needed more than something else for the raid tonight?
I moved a couple of my 50 villains to Champion from Pinnacle and have a better range of toons to offer:
Crab spider
Elec/stone brute
ice/kin corr
and my battle axe/shield brute
The first three are almost completely IO'd out, while my shield brute, who has taunt, still needs a lot of work to finish his build.
Let me know what would work best and i'll bring that toon.

@Llewthor, @Llewthor2
1 45 or so was the time. Very nice to all that came out (I dont think we ever filled the zone).

Are we counting the time from when Hami spawns, or when the GM hunt starts, cause it sure seemed longer than that.
Anyway, it was fun. Glad the yellows turned out to be a speedbump and not a brick wall like in past raids. Next time I hope to bring my crab.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
From the time we started Hunting. Took about an hour to get organized, but once we got rolling it went pretty smooth. About 30 monster kills slowed the front end a bit. Nukes were huge. Have to remember to get 4-5 of those for next month again.

Just announcing that the next redside hamidon raid is scheduled for Saturday September 19th at 9pm EST. We seem to have a pretty good setup and rythym going, what with all four primary teams having leaders. EoE's were a problem though, so EoE farming will occur at 10 PM est on the 18th and 17th.
Hope to see you all there!
